LutzBrau (43), iowa city, Iowa, USA Mar 29, 2005 Pours black, brown head no lacing. Aroma was week, roasted malts and chocolate. Flavor starts well with chocolate and coffee flavors...then goes down hill. A bit too thin and bitter finish and woody aftertaste. BoomerSooner (17), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Mar 25, 2005 Man i love this stuff probably better than guinness. I think boulevard knows what they are doing. It poured black and tasted like a good chocolate flavor. Did’nt have a lastling head but made up in flavor. kms399 (267), plymouth, Minnesota, USA Mar 19, 2005 thin off white head black body. very subtle aroma of coffee. taste is chocolate and mabye smoked malts. has a thin dry mouthfeel. not bad for the price. walleye (876), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA Mar 11, 2005 from the bottle. shared with flemdawg. poured darak brown, with a tan head. aromamalts, cocoa, molasses, black cherries, sugar. flavor, smoke, wood, roasted malts, I wish the flavor was a little more robust. chalky and dry mouth feel. flemdawg (485), Naples, Florida, USA Mar 5, 2005 Dark brown, almost black body with a fast diminshing brown head that left oily lacing all down the glass. Roasted malts, some coffee, carmel, molasses, and cholcolate in the aroma. Weak taste by comparison to the aroma. Roasted malts, molasses and some wood came out in the taste. Tingly, thin watery feel. Not a good stout. JohnC (2230), Mission Viejo, California, USA Feb 27, 2005 the cap came off of this one a rather easily. pours black w/ some reddish notes. the head was minimal, a cocoa powder color. thin, dry, and a bit lacking in body, not the best dry stout. henry3r (586), Wichita, Kansas, USA Feb 25, 2005 This bottled beer poured a deep, dark brown with highlights of garnet. The head was thin, fizzy and light tan dissipating quickly leaving almost no lacing on the glass. The first impression aroma is of sweet, dried fruit - dates or raisins. Then the malt comes through loud and clear. The flavor is smooth and earthy with highlights of smoked malt. The finish has some alcohol warmth to it as well. BBB63 (4199), La Porte, Indiana, USA Feb 6, 2005 Bottled: Nearly opaque with a fizzy tan and fading head which produced little lace. The aroma has notes of chalky and earthy yeast esters, mocha and burnt malts, coffee, aromatic hops, and a touch of sour citrus. The taste starts with a balanced bittersweet offering with a minor apple and mint undertone. The finish has coffee, smoke, and bitters notes. The feel is fizzy and light, minimal body. Quite average and quaffable, a common stout. (Boulevard’s Bully Porter is much better)
